The Dallas teen's sister, who was 12 years old at the time of the forced abortion, was granted immunity by the state before she testified because she said she participated in the assault at the demand of her aunt Sharon Jones.

The teen's sister told prosecutors she held down her sister's legs while Lonnell McDonald and her cousin pounded the teen's stomach to induce an abortion.

"She didn't have a choice," the teen victim said Tuesday when asked if she bore a grudge against her sister.

Dallas teen says relatives beat her up to force abortion, put baby on grill to hide lies to CPS

McDonald, 28, is charged with conspiracy to commit capital murder and aggravated assault and faces up to 99 years in prison. He has pleaded not guilty.

Three of the teen's other relatives have also been accused in the 2013 attack. Cousins Cecila McDonald, 27, and Cedric Jones Jr., 28, and Sharon Jones, 46, have been charged with conspiracy to commit capital murder.

The girl's brother, Robert Cayald, 23, faces a sexual assault charge in the case.

The Dallas Morning News generally does not name victims of sexual assault.

After the assault at Sharon Jones' Pleasant Grove house on Pondwood Drive, the teen was taken to Cecila McDonald's apartment down the road in the 1200 block of North Masters Drive, the victim's sister testified.

There, the teen gave birth to a stillborn baby in the bathroom. The teen told officials she gave birth to the baby in her pants.

The teen's sister said Sharon Jones offered her $20 to pick up the pants and put them in a 5-gallon bucket.

"I saw a cord come out of the pants," the sister said. "I asked what it was and Aunt Sharon told me it was the baby. Then I dropped the pants."

She said her aunt then put the pants in a bucket, which she later placed in her car. The teen's sister never saw the pants again.

The baby was later placed into a charcoal grill in an attempt to destroy it, according to an affidavit.

When that didn't work, Sharon Jones paid Cedric Jones Jr. $25 to "take care of the rest of it," according to an affidavit. He is accused of putting the baby in a plastic bag and stashing it in a location still unknown to authorities.

The teen, who is now 17 and lives with her sister and a foster family in Denton, told officials on Tuesday that Cayald raped her in August 2012. According to an arrest affidavit, the teen told police she was a virgin at the time of the rape and that her brother was the father.

She said she told Cecila McDonald and Jones about the attack in March 2013 after the women said that Cayald had sexually abused Cecila McDonald's three young children. The women did not report the allegations to officials.

After the teen came home from school one day in March 2013, Cedric Jones Jr.'s girlfriend, Ruthalee Brundidge, along with Sharon Jones and Cecila McDonald, used Google to research how to induce a miscarriage.

Sharon purchased several pills, possibly including plan-B pills, and told her to take them with cinnamon water, according to trial testimony. Cecila and the teen's sister then held her down on the living room floor of Sharon's house, while McDonald and Cedric Jones Jr. jumped and stomped on her, she testified.

"It was like every time I woke up, they were still there," she said.

She gave birth to a stillborn child in Cecila McDonald's apartment that night, she said. The baby was taken from her before she ever had a chance to see the child, she testified.

Her relatives never took her to see a doctor after the incident, the teen said. Instead, Cecila gave her iron pills because she had lost so much blood that she looked pale.

McDonald's defense urged the jury to pay close attention to the evidence presented over the course of the trial, especially given the lengthy sentence McDonald potentially faces if convicted.

"A story can be tragic," said Robbie McClung. "A story can be sad. But when a story can put a man in jail for five to 99 years, you better have the evidence to back that up."
